anyhow let's say you're at a wedding and it's open bar and there's no beer or wine. just the above. which one do you go with and how do you order it? cause guess what? it's time to get after it bud. the DJamer just lead off with brickhouse and the bride and groom are already three drinks in from the trolley ride over to the reception hall. it's going to get a little crazy tonight and you're going to be the one leading the conga line. so let's hear that liquor order, son. get it on. bang a gong. get it on...

Bourbon is one of those drinks, maybe one of the only ones, that makes me really slur when I get loaded.  Most of the time when I'm smashed, even blackout, people say "I couldn't even tell you were drunk."

Vodka and sodas if I'm going to be drinking for a while. It helps you stay hydrated at the same time, so you can dance without having to run to the drinking fountain after every song.

I do love scotch, but I drink scotch on the rocks at the same pace I drink beer, so if I'm planning on being conscious throughout the reception I'd better steer clear.

i'll be very up front and forth coming when i say i don't know which is which and whatever. i lump them all in to the pee shakes pile and then sweep them into the corner of the room, close the door, lock it and just walk as far away as possible.

while on the subject of soda water, let's stay on the subject ok? cause i like soda and i like water but soda water? really gross, you guys. one, tonic water just tastes better and two at least tonic water is up front about what it tastes like alone and without good tasting stuff mixed in with it. soda water is too bate and switchy for this serious drinker.

Squeeze a lemon into it. Vodka soda with a lemon is the crispest think to every hit your lips. It just sparkles all the way down. Tonic water has too much syrup for me. No thanks, I like not having diabetes.

Bourbon and Water.  Keeps you hydrated, gets you pak'd.  The hangover is minimal, because we all know that at a wedding, I am getting to level 7.

Even if beer and wine were options, this is my go to.

Double bourbon with a single rock.

On a side note:  I had a pretty savage 90 year old man tell me every night he drinks three to four Scotch and milks and finishes with warmed Courvoisier in his snifter.  I'm not sure if it's the key to longevity but he was in great shape and definitely enjoying his years left.

In this situation, I think I'd need a little kick start. I'd order as many Red Bull/Vodkas as I could hold. Get good and geetered out on them, move to something like gin/coke, and probably end the night with a few vodka/waters to make sure I'm hydrated.

except wrong, because it's a tennessee whiskey, and a bourbon has to be from kentucky.

but otherwise, right.

Scotch

At a wedding, I would go for something a little less complex like Highland Park 12 with one or two drops of water.

Most likely whiskey waters.  Talk about goin' down easy :lick:  Gin and tonics if it's a warm weather wedding.  If I'm in the bachelor party and the wedding is slowing down I might pull up a chair with my bros and drink a scotch on the rocks.  Basically what I'm saying is that the gameplan changes based on who you're playing.

I think I would totally mix it up. gin & tonic, scotch and water (because scotch sounds less white trashy than bourbon), and maybe a vodka lemonade which was suggested and sounds delicious. It also depends on the wedding. good grief what a poorly thought-out friday snack off.

people enjoy it with orange juice but its not really a wedding drink, imo.

people always talk about "sipping tequila" and all it makes me want to do is punch them in the face and then stick a lime in their mouth.

If there is dancing (and let me tell ya buster I can boogie) then it has to be G&T's. If no dancing then scotch on the rocks please.


If dancing, then I mix in a few light beers. They are kinda self restricting so you don't drink too much too fast.



If tequilla was my only option I'd just have an iced tea or something.

just extraordinarily low alcohol iq here. just rough ridin' terrible.

gin and tonics? what are you, a bunch of frustrated hausfraus? 'cause you're drinking the drink of functionally (hopefully) alcoholic moms.

bourbon redneck-y? from "serious drinker" rd? you know what you sound like when you say that? yes, you're right. a redneck.

thinking whisky = bourbon (always)? from someone i gather is a bartender? jesus h.

anyways, since you asked, i would have to go with vodka, as in martinis (dry and dirty, please).

Unfortunately, there are only two bars in Aggieville that even carry Campari and neither has bartenders that know what one is.

its an aromatic bitters. most people will add more of the sweet vermouth to balance out the gin and campari. but that is wrong.

negronis will throw you on your ass, a true cocktail.

my runner-up would be a manhattan, chilled but not overly cold (absolutely no ice). bourbon is good.

just extraordinarily low alcohol iq here. just rough ridin' terrible.

gin and tonics? what are you, a bunch of frustrated hausfraus? 'cause you're drinking the drink of functionally (hopefully) alcoholic moms.

bourbon redneck-y? from "serious drinker" rd? you know what you sound like when you say that? yes, you're right. a redneck.

thinking whisky = bourbon (always)? from someone i gather is a bartender? jesus h.

anyways, since you asked, i would have to go with vodka, as in martinis (dry and dirty, please).

ps  i used to think 'clams was hilarious, but he seems to have morphed into a pissy (oh, i get it) old grump. (i assume he's a g & t guy.)

you did. rough ridin' hell.

Vodka and sodas if I'm going to be drinking for a while. It helps you stay hydrated at the same time, so you can dance without having to run to the drinking fountain after every song.

I do love scotch, but I drink scotch on the rocks at the same pace I drink beer, so if I'm planning on being conscious throughout the reception I'd better steer clear.

while on the subject of soda water, let's stay on the subject ok? cause i like soda and i like water but soda water? really gross, you guys. one, tonic water just tastes better and two at least tonic water is up front about what it tastes like alone and without good tasting stuff mixed in with it. soda water is too bate and switchy for this serious drinker.

This sounds like a great strategy.

One issue I have is with tequila - is this a typical wedding liquor choice? What do you mix it with that isn't a margarita?

people enjoy it with orange juice but its not really a wedding drink, imo.

people always talk about "sipping tequila" and all it makes me want to do is punch them in the face and then stick a lime in their mouth.

yeah man she eats those things up and twice on sundays. literally has absolutely no idea what she was doing starting out though and only knew she really liked olives/olive juice. so i'd tried to coach her up on how to order etc, but it didn't really take. typical order from her...

"yeah i need a dirty vodka martini. really dirty but i don't want any of that other stuff in it. honey, what's that other stuff that i don't really like that they sometimes put in it. yeah vermouth that's it. no vermouth please and can i get extra olives. oh i don't know what kind of vodka do you have? do you have grey goose? honey what other vodka do i like? what do you have that's good?"

Ever Mexican wedding, man? Tequila is a staple. You can mix it with coke (called a charro negro), you can mix it with any juice (my preferred is grapefruit w/shaved/crushed ice), you can sip it neat. For cryin' out loud, if you're on spring break in South Padre or some such hookup festival you can shoot it six ways to Sunday.

I answered tequila (I'll take mine reposado, neat, and just about anything but generic or Jose Cuervo: prefer Herradura or Jimador if you have 'em). If I want a changeup or to feel refreshed I'm going to a white tequila w/grapefruit juice (or just water, I KNOW, not on the list).

That being said, I really don't dislike ANY of the choices listed (do I have a problem?). In order of favorite to least favorite (but still pretty good):

Tequila > Bourbon > Scotch > Rum (if it's a Caribbean wedding, I'm going here first & probably all night long) > Vodka (if it's a Polish or Russian - even Ukrainian - wedding I'm going here first and as long as I can last) > Gin (hardly EVER drink this because other choices are usually readily available)

 :cheers: Everybody!

I think I would totally mix it up. gin & tonic, scotch and water (because scotch sounds less white trashy than bourbon), and maybe a vodka lemonade which was suggested and sounds delicious. It also depends on the wedding. good grief what a poorly thought-out friday snack off.

I do that a lot, too. I mean, that's one of the perks of going out. You've got that whole damned bar to choose from. Why limit yourself?

I mix it up, but stick with one liquor as a base.

Think it was Rick Daris who mentioned the "rum & coke," but change it to "whiskey" instead of "rum." Along these lines, to me a vodka martini and a gin martini don't even taste like the same drink at all. I've never even TRIED vodka martini with vermouth (seems like it would clash with the vodka?). This is a deep liquor quandary for me to ponder!  :confused:

i'd say a vodka martini is the most common (how much vermouth and olive juice is up to you), although, by definition, a martini is gin and vermouth with either olives or a lemon peel (thereareyouhappyrickdaris :shakesfist:)

but, once you get in to chocotinis and appletinis and other, similar gutter swill, well, the world is your oyster.

yeah, i don't even know if they exist in real life, i was just thinking about scrubs guy's favorite "martini". there are a seemingly endless supply of froo-froo 'tinis out there, though.

I can count on one hand how many martinis I've actually made with gin. Everyone wants vodka. Including Mrs. Daris! :sdeek:

coming from the guy who is ignorant to bourbon and doesn't know how to make a negroni.

I'm confused what you and michigancat are saying I was wrong about? Everyone was calling whiskey "bourbon". Bourbon, by definition, has to be distilled in Kentucky and more specifically, Bourbon County, Kentucky. So everyone should stick to calling the brown liquor "whiskey", since that applies to every brown liquor that has ever been distilled, unlike the term "bourbon" which applies to a much smaller amount.
